Your suit can also be hand washed, using regular soap is desired. We do not recommend using bleach or napisan on your suit. However, on the poly cotton model napisan is acceptable.

However, there are benefits with our folding/fencing style veils, such as:-Front of face opening zip which provides easy access for when you want a drink, or need to take a phone call. -A strong plastic frame insert, which you fit in the top of your hood to provide added strength and rigidity.. This also aids in keeping the mesh from obstructing your face.

The material is breathable, and the depth of the 3 layer fabric provides excellent sting protection. The first layer of mesh is made of poly cotton. The second layer is made of EVA foam and acts as a spacer to allow air to circulate. The third layer of mesh is made of poly cotton. All 3 layers have a combined thickness of 4mm to provide the best in sting protection. The 3 layer is the most popular seller in our suit range. It is a heavier suit compared to the rest of our range.

2/Double Layer Ventilated Suit (SUPER COOL)The double layer is slightly less durable and lighter compared to the 3 layer suit. Because of the light weight, it is ideal for beekeepers who work long hours or require a suit that is less weighted on the body.

Semi Ventilated/Poly Cotton SuitWith its semi ventilated design, this suit features 3 Layer mesh windows on the chest, back and arms to allow air to circulate around the body, while still maintaining sting protection.

Poly Cotton SuitThe poly cotton suit is part of the OZ ARMOUR entry level range, and has no additional ventilation. The fabric is still breathable, and sting protected. Keep in mind, the poly cotton suit does have a tendency to get hot in warmer climates, and during summer seasons. It is not recommended if you live in areas of Queensland Australia, or similar conditions.
